30 stories on AI dev tools, agents, and the coding stack — curated from the day's RSS haul by Agentic Dev's pipeline.
A developer guide explains how to connect Google's Gemini API to Anthropic's Claude using Model Context Protocol, enabling Claude to generate images by delegating that task to Gemini while handling reasoning and orchestration.
Caveman, a Claude Code plugin, reduces output tokens by ~65% through prompt compression, while tool search defers loading MCP tool definitions until needed. Both systems target the same 200,000-token context window from opposite ends: one compresses what the model outputs, the other defers what t...
A developer created a virtual organization system using a .company/ folder structure within Claude Code projects, with specialized "departments" (secretary, engineering, research) to maintain context across sessions and automatically log decisions and tasks.
A developer published a working example of an end-to-end testing pipeline that uses Playwright for browser automation, Claude for AI-assisted test generation, GitHub Actions for CI execution, and Allure for test reporting with trend history published to GitHub Pages.
A developer built toprank, an open-source Claude Code plugin for marketing automation that combines Google Ads and SEO functions, replacing approximately $500 monthly in paid tools. The plugin uses 15 granularly-defined skills and a confirmation-based pattern for state changes to reduce errors an...
OpenAI published guidance on writing clear, effective prompts to improve responses from ChatGPT.
GitHub released Copilot CLI, bringing its AI coding assistant to the command line with agentic capabilities for autonomous code building and task execution. Users can install it via npm and authenticate with GitHub credentials to generate code and run tests directly from the terminal.
The New Stack published a tutorial on building an AI-powered document search application using ChromaDB as a vector database, LangChain as an LLM wrapper, and RAG to retrieve relevant document chunks in response to user queries.
A developer described how their AI coding workflow evolved to prioritize workflow orchestration over code generation. They demonstrated completing an interactive skill selection feature in under an hour using AI DevKit, which executed an eight-phase development cycle from a single prompt.
A developer integrated Falco kernel monitoring with Claude API to analyze Kubernetes security alerts in real-time, reducing noise by having Claude assess whether detected activity represents actual threats or expected behavior. The system runs on bare metal Kubernetes with future plans to automat...
A developer switched from Anthropic's Claude API and ChatGPT Plus to SimplyLouie, a proxy service offering Claude access for $2/month flat, citing cost savings from token-based pricing that previously cost $5-15 per coding session.
A developer created a custom OpenClaw AI skill that automates Instagram Reel script creation for a content creator, reducing prep time from 1-2 hours to approximately 10 minutes by automating research across Reddit, X, YouTube, and LinkedIn, analyzing competitor formats, and generating multiple s...
A Perforce report found 70% of IT leaders say strong DevOps practices support AI adoption, but only 39% of organizations have fully automated audit trails despite 77% reporting confidence in AI outputs, highlighting a governance gap that must be addressed as AI agents take on autonomous roles.
OpenAI published guidance on building custom GPTs, which are specialized AI assistants designed to automate workflows and maintain consistent outputs for specific purposes.
OpenAI published guidance on using ChatGPT for data analysis tasks including dataset exploration, insight generation, and visualization creation.
OpenAI published guidance on creating and using ChatGPT skills to build reusable workflows and automate recurring tasks.
AI systems misattribute information from government websites because traditional web publishing encodes authority through layout and context rather than explicit machine-readable fields, causing statements to become detached from correct sources and jurisdictions during processing. The article pr...
The Linux kernel project published official documentation on using AI coding assistants when contributing to the kernel, establishing guidance for developers on acceptable use of AI tools in kernel development.
Command Garden, a website that autonomously builds one feature daily via AI proposals and judge scoring, shipped a Community Pulse section displaying emoji reaction totals from the past week. The feature was selected with a score of 8.0 over two competing candidates that scored 7.5 and 5.5.
OpenAI published guidance on using ChatGPT's search and deep research features to find current information, evaluate sources, and generate structured insights.
OpenAI introduced a projects feature in ChatGPT that allows users to organize chats, files, and instructions while managing ongoing work and enabling team collaboration.
OpenAI published guidance on using ChatGPT to brainstorm ideas, organize thinking, and develop rough concepts into structured plans.
A frontend engineer built LinkedIn Secret Weapon, a Chrome extension that personalizes connection messages using template variables and keyboard shortcuts to streamline LinkedIn outreach during job searching. The extension fills in recipient details like first name and company into a user-defined...
A developer built an MCP server connecting Claude to the RustChain blockchain, enabling AI queries of wallet balances and mining information via REST API integration using the FastMCP Python framework.
Open Claude Proxy v3.5.0 allows multiple devices on a local network to share a single Claude subscription by routing requests through a central server; new clients can connect by running a single curl command instead of manually configuring API keys.
Julien Verlaguet, founder of SkipLabs, argues that most companies claim to be building AI guardrails but are primarily using prompting rather than developing fundamental safety tooling. Verlaguet is building Skipper, a specialized coding agent designed to ensure AI-generated backend code is reada...
Backend and DevOps roles will evolve significantly over 25 years as AI automation increases; engineers will shift from coding to curating AI-generated code, managing self-healing systems, and designing prompt frameworks, with longer-term transitions toward physical AI fleet management and system ...
OpenAI published guidance on responsible and safe AI use, covering best practices for safety, accuracy, and transparency when using tools like ChatGPT.
OpenAI rotated macOS code signing certificates and updated its applications after a supply chain attack compromised Axios developer tools, stating that no user data was affected.
